Must be more of that Christian spirit we're always hearing about from Christian conservatives.

You have posted all responses to "snarky" personal attacks from other people." If we're going to trade insults, can we at least watch the punctuation and capital letter placement? We don't need to be savages here.

Originally Posted By Dabob2 <Crappy advice is crappy advice and that is what her handlers/advisors gave her.> Do you really think anyone ADVISED her to wear those particular shoes? Because that's the only way your whole take on this even makes sense. Isn't it more likely that she simply had them in her wardrobe, put them on, and no one else even noticed? First ladies typically have very full schedules - it's probable that 5 minutes after she put them on she was stepping into the car taking her to the event.

It was Mr. Flyer who recommended the pricey sneakers after focus group results indicated they were appropriate for this occasion. Mr. Flyer's father was Minister of Footwear Protocol during the Ford Administration and made a series of ill-advised recommendations to the president. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlz0he9rtKw" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...0he9rtKw</a>

Originally Posted By dlkozy >>>"Do you really think anyone ADVISED her to wear those particular shoes?"<<< That's the whole thing in a nutshell-they didn't advise her not to and she didn't think about it on her own-hence the need for handlers/advisors. That is what they are paid well to do. The people that took this whole thread down the anti Michelle path are the libs. I did not say anything anti about her at all-but her advisors. For reference for those with shorter memories-read the first OP. Get over it libs-Pres and Mrs O are NOT perfect and (GASP!!!) ARE going to make mis steps. It is up to their handlers to ensure that they make as few as possible.
Originally Posted By Dabob2 It's simply unrealistic to expect that one of her handlers would have even noticed this in the 5 minutes she probably had between putting them on and stepping into the car. After that, it's too late. Criticizing them for this is just about as silly as criticizing Michelle. Sorry, but it's true.
Originally Posted By ecdc It's funny. I went and looked at the Sarah Palin wardrobe thread from last year during the election, when we learned she spent over $100,000 on clothes. Curiously, dlkozy was not nearly as outraged. In fact, the only comment dlkozy made was a swipe at Democrats. What a shock. No comments about Palin's handlers. No comments about the RNC letting this happen. Nothing. I can't imagine why that is.
Originally Posted By Mr X ***That is what they are paid well to do.*** And for the THIRD time I ask you, do you really think that part of their job is to inventory their bosses closet and have an awareness of exactly how much everything costs? Seriously. Can you answer that question? If it hadn't been for the shoes, but rather an expensive scarf that she just happened to throw on (perhaps a gift, who knows..maybe even SHE doesn't know the value), should they be keeping an eye out for that? All I can say is, I think they ALL have better things to do than to worry about stuff like the price of the shoes she's wearing.

Originally Posted By charming husband Just like the President has a dresser, so does the First Lady or did you really think this were just common folk that had the time to be picking out their own duds for events? I will answer Mr X's question that someone has already answered but he seems to forget-YES-someone does indeed get paid to keep their clients closets inventoried. Seriously-get a clue.
